Seems like something that needs to be addressed, no?

---

Dont worry, the republicans have a plan

they will carefully and clearly spell out to these people how they can go fuck themselves

---

Republicans: "LMAO GET FUCKED!"

---

They should have saved their money
America isnT a socialist country
Bootstraps

Something something it's libs faults they're homeless anyway

---

---

Nothing is stopping any given state from stopping evictions, and it looks like several are doing that.

damn. OR/WA is about 1 in 3 households :(.
there's others in the group but i'm not going to list those.
---

anyone defending this is a piece of shit

---

The disconnect with politicians is fucking insane at this point.

How the fuck do people who make 6 figures decide shit for everybody below them? While lobbied by 7 and 8 figure fucks?

We're so screwed in the coming weeks and it's outright depressing thinking about it.

"hey we're giving you another $1200, how much more could you need? just go out, get a job, catch covid, not have healthcare cuz it didn't kick in, then drown in medical bills"

---

Bump

---

So let's say this happens 40% of country is evicted. Is this the GOP plan to fuck with vote. Is it easy to vote when you are homeless?

---

What's the number usually? Like, at this point last year
---

Well shit..

I've always said revolution is unlikely because too many people are comfortable with their lives.

This sounds like a perfect way to change that.

---

This is what happens when you only prevent people from being evicted and do nothing to help prevent people from being evicted like freezing rent or providing monthly checks.

---

but who's going to take their place?? no one is around to pay..........

get rekt'd

I think the usual advice is to use a shelter's address but I'm sure this is something the Republicans will try to block somehow

Landlords will be able to use their empty properties as tax deductions.

My landlord just called us a half-hour ago and told us he's getting ready to sell the place. We have nowhere to go.

---

This is strange since everyone unemployed was getting that extra $600.

If the lease is still active, get a lawyer.

Well, look at your lease first and look for a free consultation before going and paying for a lawyer

Yeah idk how it is your state, but here in PA they legally have to give you a 30 day written notice.

In my 'hood, the buyers have to agree to the contract as well

I was on a month to month lease and the new owners said they wanted to lease to someone else. I asked why and he said it's because I was paying under market, which was true. I had a hell of a deal, and is why the last owner went broke. I just offered to pay what he thought was fair, which was another $100/mo. Then I bought a house a couple months later

We are all going to end up dying in the streets

---

Hmm... don't think I'll be buying any REITs soon

---

Yeah, I don't really get why that was never a bigger deal in all these packages. Government should have paid at least a certain portion of rent for certain wage brackets for people when tossing out all this money. Though anecdotally, we also may have a lot of morons blowing all their unemployment and not thinking about the future. Who the fuck buys a fucking $1000 TV at a time where you haven't fucking paid rent in at least two months?

i wish it was under better circumstances. my landlord sold the place to a new owner. luckily they didn't choose to evict right away had about 3 month's before he jacked up the rent with a month to month term.

here's hoping you have at least a month to figure something out if don't have a lease currently.

There's going to be a shitton of condos becoming available soon, though.

That's the endgame here. If landlords can't collect rent, and can't evict, there's no useful purpose in even having rental property. Either convert it condos, or sell it to someone else who will.

Im not worried really at all because i have plenty of savings and my job should be safe.
But i just got the worry that if my landlord doesn't pay his mortgage i would be fucked

That's not a fun process, by any means.
